If we rule out the "big six" of having a chance of being relegated then there 21%+ chance you'll be relegated for the other 14 clubs. Relegation should be regarded as an occupational hazard for the majority of PL clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 (edited) Would love to see Brooks come in. I know swap deals never ever happen so pointless to even hypothesise, but i will anyway, if Bournemouth were interested in Gray or Albrighton they'd be perfect makeweights to lower the cash outlay. Then if we could get a Sarr type as well we'd be set out wide i reckon (although that is predicated on us returning to the 4-1-4-1 formation when everyone is fit again).

Brooks is an inverted winger/attacking midfielder in the mould of Juan Mata or Bernardo Silva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 2 minutes ago, Greg2607 said: you may well be right, it makes logical sense. but what if it was Tottenham, Arsenal and us? Both finished below us in the league.... but would we expect the price to go up because they are "bigger" clubs? Yes because they're a higher level club than us. If you put a player on the market then the sort of clubs who show an interest tells you how the market rates them. Brooks could be exactly the same level as Grealish but because Brooks attracts mid table clubs and Grealish attracts the elite clubs then the value is different. I'm not saying Brooks is as good as Grealish but just making a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesta2014 Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 Ale going Man City for £41 million, weren’t we quoted in region of 60 last summer? Going on this brooks may not be that expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty98 Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 He's a decent player but can't see him getting the 10 goals and 10 assists that we're really looking for. If it was a 10-15m job then fair enough but they'll probably want atleast 25m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll sell 2-3 and try and get some of the other high earners off their books who are older too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 Now they have accented a bid fro Ake from Man CIty for 41m they may have a bit more money I would think they wouldn't want more money for Brooks then Ake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 Its not just about Bournemouth (Watford and Norwich too) keeping their finances in order, you also have to remember that players want to be in the top leagues, and wil be pushed to be in them by their ego, ambition and agents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxhateram Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 Exactly the sort of signing we need. Will be happy to be a squad player but good enough to make an impact as a sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 He would be a Leicester type signing, he’d fit like a glove in our plethora of young talent. He’s been out for a good while and is starting to find his feet again, but this is too good an opportunity to miss. Brooks has been highly rated for a while, Wales player of the year in 2018, had a good first season with Bournemouth before he got injured. He’d be a sensible signing, fits our style and a player that would make fans excited. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peach0000 Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 I don't think brooks can command a particularly high fee with his recent injury record. If bournemouth asks for a high fee we should look else where on that basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
